Manny, here is a link to Naval Aviation News: http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/nhcorg5.htm
There is some good reading in the back issues (especially the WWII era editions) and a lot of flight deck photos can be found here. I can't help you on sources of 1/700 deck gear but these back issues can show you what that gear would look like in almost any era of US naval aviation.
The "Tokyo Talks" columns are very good reading. A little propaganda from the other side.
